If you suffer yourself, you can't suffer your children", this is the traditional perception of most Chinese parents, in Chinese families, parents never feel distressed when it comes to spending money on their children, especially when it comes to education spending.
In order to keep their children from losing at the starting line, parents will try their best to enroll their children in various interest classes to satisfy their vanity and comparison.
But is it true that the more interest classes for children, the better, and is it useful for parents to spare no effort to enroll their children in interest classes?
In the variety show "Teacher, Please Answer", there is an episode about a 6-year-old girl who has been in an interest class for 3 years, and her family spent about 1.2 million, but when the teacher came up with the question, she couldn't calculate how much 6+9 is! This has been found incredible by many people.
This 6-year-old girl is called Qingqing, she has a full schedule of time every day, in addition to daily classes, there are interest classes, including ballet, performance, vocal music, piano, mental arithmetic, and walking on the catwalk;
Probably because of these wide "interests", she has been on the big stage, held a workers' sports concert, and walked the show at New York Fashion Week. Judging from these, she realized many dreams that many young people in their twenties could not achieve at the age of 6, which made many people cast envious eyes, and Qingqing's mother and grandmother also felt that they had face on their faces. However, the next problem has changed for many people.
The host gave Qingqing a math test question: 6+9=?
Qingqing hesitated for a long time, and she didn't come up with an answer, and her grandmother's expression was very solemn.
Some guests said that this question should be learned in the first grade; Cai Guoqing's son Qingqing couldn't help but say, "This shouldn't be learned in the first grade, it should be learned in kindergarten, right?" He also bluntly said that this is a very simple question.
Qingqing said: "You think it's easy, I think it's so difficult!" I couldn't even figure it out, and my mom was right behind me to remind me. ”
spent 1.2 million yuan on interest classes, but could not answer a kindergarten-level question, which made many people have a different view of interest classes again.
Let's take a look together, what about the 1.2 million spent on **?
signed a contract with the company for 130,008; one-on-one vocal performances are about 400,000; The "tuition" of the two workers' sports concerts is 300,000 yuan, and the stage fee is 150,000 yuan for one time; It cost about 200,000 to go to New York Fashion Week; There are also training and acting classes in other schools, plus some scattered classes, about 300,000.
Giving children an interest class can easily cost hundreds of thousands, which is comparable to a "money shredder". It can be seen that this family is really willing to invest in their children, but the results of the investment do not seem to be very ideal! Qingqing is indeed "packaged" very well, but in terms of culture and education, she is already a big step behind children of the same age!
After spending millions to enroll in classes, but can't even answer a simple math problem, is this kid "stupid"? How could a child who can learn so many things be a stupid child?
The reason why she became "stupid" was because her family stepped on the "pit" of the interest class.
The original purpose of the interest class is to develop or improve children's interest in a certain thing, so that children can find healthy hobbies that are conducive to physical and mental development in the boring extracurricular life, which is simply a "pastime" for children outside of daily learning.
However, today's interest classes are full of "pits".
1. Eloquence training class
Whenever they see children talking like a river on a variety show, mothers can't help but sign up for an eloquence training class for their children, fantasizing that their children will be able to shine on the stage in the future.
But the real eloquence is not a training class can be practiced, it still depends on the child's character, if he is a relatively quiet child, the eloquence training class will make him feel a lot of pressure, more reluctant to speak.
Good eloquence should first cultivate children's self-confidence, and then form naturally through long-term accumulation。So, mothers, stop enrolling your children in eloquence training classes and stay away from IQ taxes.
2. Programming class
Recently, programming has taken campuses by storm.
The programming class will definitely tell you that the era of children must be the era of intelligence, so everything will be intelligent, didn't you see the news that AI engineers are more popular? Learning the basics of programming is very good for children, otherwise they will definitely be eliminated by the times or something.
So parents were afraid that they would delay their children, so they sent their children to learn programming.
But in fact, really learning computer science is the corresponding major in college, and no matter how much children learn now, they are just learning the surface.
What's more, even in the era of fully intelligent artificial, children only need to be able to operate, and they don't need to understand the principle.
3. Painting class
Nowadays, most painting classes focus on copying and painting skills, but in fact, this kind of painting class is not only not good for younger children, but also destroys children's imagination.
For children, the most precious thing is to have a thousand strange ideas in their minds, but the painting class allows children to copy other people's models, abandon their own imagination, and the effect of young children learning painting skills is not good, and they forget it in a blink of an eye.
In the painting class, all the children used the same skills to copy the same picture books, and in the end, each child's work was the same, without showing their own personality characteristics, and they could not exert their imagination.
So in terms of painting,When your child is young, try to keep his imagination beautiful, let him play freely, and draw the world in his mindThis is the best childhood.
1. Character education
Professor Li Meijin mentioned it many times in the lecture3-6 years old is a critical period for children's character developmentAt this stage, the words of parents are ** for children, and when they are 9 years old, they have their own masters, and they can't manage it if they want to. At this stage, the formation of good character and good behavior is a very high and very fast return.
2. Concentration
Professor Li Meijin said in the special lecture that children with poor academic performance are not poor IQ, but poor concentration; His concentration was not on the blackboard in the tutor's classroom, how could he do well in the exam.
Only when children's concentration is strong can they quickly digest and absorb the professional knowledge that teachers say, I think the first or second year of primary and secondary school is a critical period for shaping children's concentration.
And the best way to shape children's concentration is through games.
Therefore, we can choose some professional games to shape concentration, so that children can develop positively in the game atmosphere, which is a more proactive way of education. For example, this set of "German Curious Dog Attention Training", this set of small games in the book, the more children play, the more focused they become.
German Curious Dog Attention Training Book, compiled by the German preschool education enlightenment team, published by Zhejiang Juvenile and Children's Publishing House, a set of best-selling European 30 years, almost every European child has a attention training manual, the main purpose of this book is to help 3 9-year-old children improve concentration.
